This wind turbine demonstrates the final project done during the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) Girls' Adventure in Mathematics, Engineering, and Science (GAMES) Camp that I participated in during the summer of 2015. Each day, we would explore the many different fields of engineering in order to grasp an idea of each segment. This final project demonstrates our creativity in design of the blades, the mechanical structure build to support it, and the teamwork that was initialized.

Being the project lead, I was able to organize a brief timeline of the different milestones that had to be achieved by the end of the week to complete the final product. I led the structural support of the design by testing the different configurations that were possible by the different pieces of PVC that were available.
